for me...there are a few..

prince - for his all round musical brilliance on many instruments....his songwriting ability, his live performances and his impact on modern music..
.
john lennon/paul mccartney - for their songwriting genius and making the benchmark for all modern bands..
.
brian wilson - again for his songwriting genius...amazing songs before his breakdown in 1967..
.
stevie wonder - similar to prince in his all round ability...his 70s albums were untouchable in that decade..
.
frank zappa - never got the popular success of the other artists here but was an amazing artist...too electic for his own good sometimes...
.
so who would you consider a musical genius ?
